Present Maximizer Tip...

While chatting with someone the other day they had indicated that they had recently pulled their annual Present trick to maximize what they had received for Christmas. The plot goes like this (works best on clothing):

- Take any presents that were received with a gift receipt. Find out if the item has recently gone on sale after Christmas.

- Return the gift.

- Repurchase it back at the new lower price and use the store credit you are issued to buy additional items at the same store.

Voila!!! Now you have your presents back and a bunch of new things too!

(Beware - I have heard that some stores are picky and will not put returns back on the shelf until the end of the day, meaning you will not be able to buy back your gift if it is not currently in stock)
